The D20 09R Campsite is a primitive, non-reservable, no-fee campground located in the Lower Deschutes watershed of Oregon. This campsite offers stunning views of the river and surrounding canyon. Visitors can also enjoy nearby points of interest such as the Deschutes River State Recreation Area, which offers hiking, fishing, and boating opportunities.
The campground itself offers basic amenities such as vault toilets and fire rings, but no potable water is available on-site. It is recommended that visitors bring their own water or filter from the river.
The surrounding area is known for its abundant wildlife, including bald eagles, bighorn sheep, and river otters. Visitors may also see Oregon Trail wagon ruts along the riverbank.
The best time of year to visit is typically in the spring and fall, with average temperatures ranging from the high 60s to low 80s Fahrenheit. Summer temperatures can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, making outdoor activities uncomfortable.
